Oh Lee Carsley how we could do with him in our midfield now -or someone like him -

Top bloke was Sandy - A managers dream, play anywhere...and did !
All managers want your Messis and Ronaldos, but what they don't want is to lose players like Sandy or Brian Harris or Alan Harper etc.
As the 1970 Brazil Manager said - for the Maestros to play, first there has to be people to push the piano on stage...
players like Sandy
I won't hear a bad word against him.

Edit; * puts on controversial tin hat - like Tom Davies.

As you say, Sandy could play anywhere, twice in goal including this at Newcastle. I was there and didn'

t even think the incident merited a penalty, let alone the sending off of West, leading to Sandy going in goal.

Read in a book Westy was so upset in being sent off - he took it out on poor Sandy on the coach ride home saying he would have saved it - what the hell was he doing Sandy took it in good fun .......
